A bead kind of day

Woke up this morning and was suppose to help my sons friend Andrew find a job. He had other things to do so I decided to call a friend, go for lunch and stop by my local bead store called Ellacinder's. I swear this is one of my most favorite places to go. I love all of the colors and the intoxicating sparkle of the Swarovski crystals twinkling from across he room. The beads seem to talk. They have a language all of their own. You have to listen closely to what they say and if you do they have a lot of stories to tell. The other reason i love it there is because of the 2 wonderful women who work there. They have become such good friends to me. They have listened to my many stories and the ups and downs of my life. They make going in there an experience you will never forget. So friendly and helpful. I went in with the intentions of re-stringing 2 bracelets. One I had made for my friends sister and the other was one my friend had bought that needed to be made bigger. While there some beautiful purple beads called to me. They spoke in a low voice and said that they were meant to be mine. I picked up the cup they were resting in and picked a few up and let them rest in my hand. Yes, they would be mine, but i didn't want them to be lonely and I knew that gemstones loved the company of Swarovski crystals. They also liked to hang around with silver spacer beads. These beautiful stones would make a statement as they hung around my wrist. I went and got their friends and put the cups on the table and told them in a soft voice to be patient that they would all be united soon. I restrung the 2 bracelets and then set forth making my purple bracelet. I LOVE purple! I also then turned my attention to some other beads that were screaming at me. I bought the ones I could and brought them home. I could only rescue a few, the others will have to wait until I can return. I promised them all that I would try and return as soon as I could. I know that there will be others who will come that can hear their voices and they too will rescue what they can. Now to unite these beads together so I can send them all to a new home.
